It's a little early for him to be running from hurricanes. However, this statement from NRA is a little alarming.

What? In Kansas? Now, it's important to keep in mind that these aren't confirmed reports. But, if there's any truth to them, I have no doubt there will be political hell to pay. It's important to not over react until we have a confirmed case. (Cross posted from The ***** Girls.)
UPDATE: Listen to Cam's show online tomorrow. Someone from the area seemed to call (sorry, a little distracted while it was on since I'm talking to Sebastian) and say that it's not like Katrina-style confiscations. Apparently, as they dig through rubble and come across guns, they are tagging them and marking the location where they are found and taking them for storage. For the safety of everyone involved, I don't think it's unreasonable. Of course, that's only based on how it's being conducted and how easily they return them.

If this is the case, I don't think it's a problem, provided the guns are returned as their owners (the owners of that property) come forward.
